About the OMF Advisory Committee

The Office of Management and Finance (OMF) implemented an Advisory Committee in 2006 comprised of primary customers and stakeholders. The committee includes at least one CAO appointed public or community representative, at least one CAO appointed labor representative, six to seven non-OMF bureau directors – appointed based on the CAO’s project or policy agenda for each year, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, and a City Commissioner’s Office Representative. Chaired by OMF’s Chief Administrative Officer and Vice Chaired by OMF’s Deputy Chief Administrative Officer – the committee meets monthly to advise OMF on project and program questions, customer service issues, and budget decisions. The Advisory Committee convenes as OMF’s Budget Advisory Committee during the budget process.
